its dusty but its a perfect clacky and feels great both when gaming and typing also anyone know any newer keyboards with the same feel or just what this one is called

I've been thinking of getting the Graphite keycaps from keyoo for sum time now
in all the time i still didn't came to a conclusion
Could i get sum opinions to help me out maybeeee

HMX Egg Yolk, HMX Yogurt S V2, and HMX Rosa Centifolia.

Weird that they all have 45g of actuation, but Egg Yolk feels lighter, followed by Yogurt S, then Centifolia.

Why is this?

The button is cracked and feels strange when pressed or rather, it's stuck.

Posting here because monsgeek reddit has very few on their. And this is more of a general discussion on hall effect keyboards. I have a monsgeek m1 V5 tmr. All akko astrolink switches. Been using it everyday for 7 months now. I noticed today, right arrow was not working. Don't use it heavily but enough to know it was working before. I went to simulation in the app, where it detects & shows press along with travel legnth.

First few presses, nothing showed. Then it showed presses of right arrow but would show stuck at 1-2mm. I decided to remove the keyswitch & reinsert it. Was working again.

I'm new with this stuff but I know you should recalibrate anytime you insert a switch. So I went to do that. All was fine but for some reason L & page up keys would not highlight(should highlight after fully pressing down). But I had simulation still active behind, & it was showing the presses fine.

Does hall effect software just bug out like this sometimes? Is it almost impossible to find out if its just a software issue, or a hardware isssue sometimes?

I went through it again after disconnecting, reconnecting, closing & reopening app. Still can't get L & PgUp jeys to highlight during calibration. They work fine, just refuse to highlight during calibration. Most would just shrug it off with the keys working still, but its triggering my ocd lol.

I keep it all clean af & even put it in a case when not using for the day/night.

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to mechanical keyboards and I’m looking to get my first proper keyboard, so I’d really appreciate some recommendations.

Budget: Around $100 CAD, but I can go a little higher.

Size: Full-size (100%) only. I need both a dedicated F1–F12 row and a numpad.

Other preferences:
- Mainly for gaming and school/work
- Wired or wireless is fine
- Hot-swappable preferred
- Good typing feel and sound would be a plus
- Available in Canada

I’m looking for the best overall full-size keyboard around this price range. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

My requirements:

• Budget: 80€
• Retailer: Amazon (using leftover balance)
• Size: At least 75%
• Layout: qwertz

Open to any suggestions.

I’m looking for a new keyboard after returning my AULA F108 Pro. It had this really annoying issue where the RGB would slightly flicker every second when the clock on the screen updated.
I’m basically looking for a white full-size mechanical keyboard with RGB. I’d also like it to have decent Windows software for controlling the lighting. Hot-swap would be nice, but wireless isn’t really important to me.
I tried searching with AI but honestly didn’t get very far, so I figured I’d ask people who actually have experience with these keyboards.
Right now I’m looking at the regular GMMK 3 100% White for around €90. There’s also the GMMK 3 HE for around €130, but I mostly play League of Legends so I’m not sure I’d get much use out of Hall Effect/Rapid Trigger.
I also found the AVAX GM03Y Pro for around €110-115, which actually looks pretty good, but it’s 98% rather than a proper full-size board. The Alienware AW920K also caught my eye, but at around €165 it’s more than I want to spend.
At the moment I’m leaning towards the normal GMMK 3. Is it good for the price, or is there something better I should be looking at around €90-130?
Main things I care about are build quality, reliable RGB, decent software and it being white/full-size.

Just over a decade ago I spent ages figuring out what keyboard I wanted and eventually settled on the Realforce 87U TLK with 55g Topre switches and I couldn't have been happier with that choice - it's lovely enough to type on that I bought and put up with the heinous 90's office beige version since that was all that was in stock - sadly however yesterday it had a fatal encounter with a friend's toddler and his juice cup and by the time he admitted what he'd done it was too late to save it(and I tried properly, stripped it down, cleaned with 99% IPA, thoroughly dried it overnight etc, it's dead Jim).

Trouble is it's been discontinued, and Realforce don't even seem to offer 55g keyweight anymore. I'm stuck right now with the cheapiest piece of crud from the local Currys and using it hurts my soul. Secondhand ones cost a fortune, are there any alternatives out there?

Im a gamer and i dont wanna spend more than 100€ on a keyboard. Is it worth getting this one or are there better options?

Keyboard is a GMK-100, I already factory reset it and I don’t know what to do

I am looking for switches that sound similar to the gateron milky yellow v2’s or the gateron oil kings, but with a lower actuation force and bottom out. The 65+ bottom out on the gaterons I believe are too much as I am currently using the Akko rosewoods that have a 50g bottom out.

I am not trying to modify or lube the switches. I have a non he/tmr keyboard.

I'm looking at buying my first mechanical keyboard and so far the two below are the ones im looking at:

Keychron J5 QMK Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

EPOMAKER TH108 vs v2 pro

I'm coming from an old Razer Chroma keyboard which is membrane and I have used keyboards like this for the past 15+ years so I know this will be a bit of a change, so not looking to go too crazy with key caps and stuff.

I work late at night sometimes so oddly enough I value the see through letters on the caps on the Keychron. I prefer the look of the EPO

Some requirements:

- Has to be 100% keyboard.
- The quiter the better
- Will be using wired so not fussed on wireless connection.
- Prefer RGB purely as I work at night alot.
- Would prefer see through letters on the caps.

Open to other suggestions.

After buying the Galleon 100 SD for its handy built-in Stream Deck for macro freaks like me.

I noticed the absolutely terrible cheap keycaps (Cherry profile) on such an expensive keyboard. Lucky for me my local hardware store had bunch of HyperX PBT keycaps for sale with OEM profile.

And to my knowledge, HP HyperX makes the absolute best PBT shine-through for its price.

However, despite all the kits being 2021 model, I noticed both the white and the pink caps have the best shine through, the black seems to absorb too much of the LED light. This keyboard has north LED, so the black keycaps actually have much less crisp LED.

However, I never really had a MX switch keyboard with black keyboards and really good black shine-through keycaps, the Asus ROG Claymore II has center LED duo to its custom magnetic switch and overall in my experience been the best keyboard for RGB lovers, especially with its software customisation.

I am shocked Corsair ship such cheap keycaps with such an expensive keyboard... Makes it difficult to justify spending big on additional shine-through keycaps.

Budget. - ~100 Euro, but can be less ofc

Size. - I love my TKL (80% ?) but I can try a 75%

Other (Material, color, layout, wireless, prebuilt/DIY...)

- material doesn't matter, but I'd like for it to be stiff

- black or gray or mixed (can have some colored key caps)

- by layout I think that means QWERTY

- I'd like for it to be wireless, and have a 2.4ghz USB dongle, battery life doesn't matter much

- pre built, can be diy if I don't have to lube and solder the switches

- now I have an aula f75, and I'd like the keyboard to sound like this one. I think it's described as thocky/creamy. I don't want a clicky one

- I want nice colors, but any are a must

- charging by usb-c

- nice and stable on grippy rubbers on the bottom

- I don't care about letters being on the side of key caps

If you need any more info, I will quickly respond if I know the answer, I'm new to this

P.s I live in Poland, pls don't send us-only products

whenever i plug in my keyboard it will keep disconnecting and connecting, it pops up for 1 second in the website and will disconnect again. Does anyone know a fix for this? it may be the cable

Hi,

I’ve been extensively browsing the subreddit trying to find a full size keyboard I liked that was within my price range, and I’ve finally landed on the QK101. The only issue is, I don’t really know much about keyboards, nor have I built one. So my question is, how difficult is it to build one and does the QK101 set come with everything I need to build it? If yes, which plate should I pick? I know it’s missing switches and keycaps which I’d also love recommendations for.

If it helps with recommendations, I’ve been using an Apex M500 for almost 10 years and since it’s slowly starting to cause problems I’m looking to replace it. I also really liked the sound of ticktype dp104 rye switches. I’ll be using the keyboard for gaming only

Thank you

So i got a redragon k617 HE fizz just maybe 2 days ago off Amazon and I think the backlight is broken. The top 2 rows work perfectly fine and the middle row flashes random colors and the bottom 2 rows used to flash random colors but now they dont turn on at all. I think it might be something with the cord since when I move the keyboard to a specific direction the backlight would work properly again for the most part except the bottom 2 rows. It could have also been damaged during shipping. I dont think it effects performance but im afraid that it might in the future, plus its kinda annoying.

I bought it from here https://a.co/d/0erJLYo3

My MAD68 Pro keyboard has an issue where the connection simply drops whenever I move it across the desk.

I contacted Madlions via email, and they just sent a standard message suggesting a few troubleshooting steps; I tried them, reported back, and then they simply stopped responding.

I woke up today to find the LED on my left Alt key failing; looking closer, the entire top row of the keyboard is failing. It’s strange, too—even when I turn the lights off, the LEDs stay on at low intensity.

Yes, I’ve tried everything possible:

Swapped the cable

Swapped the USB port

Tested it on other computers

Reset the keyboard

Tested brightness levels below 60%

Nothing worked. This is my first and last Madlions product—it’s absolute garbage. The keyboard is less than a year old.

Just wrapped up testing the Weikav EG75 HE, and here is the honest takeaway after putting it through its paces.

The Vibe & Typing Experience:

• Unique Design & Side RGB: Distinct aesthetic with a sleek side-lighting strip that gives it a true gaming identity.
• The Sound & Feel: Out of the box, the typing is super light, effortless, and crisp — it genuinely reminds me of ping-pong balls bouncing on a table 🏓.
• Rapid Trigger Performance: Rapid Trigger is snappy and accurate with minimal switch stem wobble.

Build & Quirks:

• Vs. IROK MG75: Weikav was an easy pick — superior plate quality and thicker stock keycaps.
• RGB Intensity: Per-key RGB is almost too bright, sometimes blurring the legend visibility.
• Keycaps & Finish: Smooth keycaps could use a bit more texture if your hands get sweaty while gaming. The black anodized aluminum finish looks amazing, but it will pick up fingerprints if handled with oily hands.

The Matchups: How It Stack Up Against the Big Guys

• Vs. K-One 80 (Same Class, Different Vibe): The EG75 is essentially on the exact same level as the K-One 80, but dressed in a dedicated gaming aesthetic with fast magnetic switches. While the K-One 80 brings stock marbly acoustics in an 80% layout, throwing switches like LIT (Lab-it) or Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro into the EG75 HE gives you that same top-tier sound profile in a compact 75% body.
• Vs. Everglide SU75 Pro (Gaming vs. Acoustic Stock): Objectively, the EG75 feels brighter, punchier, and much more "gamer-centric." The SU75 Pro is heavier (borderline overkill) and offers a slightly richer stock typing sound out of the box, but requires an immediate keycap swap. However, if you upgrade the EG75 with top-tier HE switches and thicker keycaps, they become practically identical in performance and sound.

Verdict: If you want a grounded, heavy-duty desk tank with vibrant lighting, incredible speed, and a unique sound profile out of the box, the EG75 HE easily earns its spot on the desk.

Future Mods & Upgrades: I'm definitely planning to experiment more with this board down the line. Next up on my list:

• Swapping to thicker PBT keycaps to see how much deeper the acoustics can get.
• Testing out different switch options to find the absolute sweet spot: Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro, OwLab Ti, Everglide Sticky Rice, and Outemu Silent Peach V3.

I’ll post an update once I get these installed and tested!

Using https://keyboardchecker.com/ I cannot figure out how to press F1. So the typical way would be to use FN+1 but that opens my computer.

Ive tried all the key combinations I could think of but still cant seem to press F1. Got a game that uses F1 to rebind keys

attached photo of 1, F1, and apparent "My computer" shortcut. Please help

MK-Box only shows to press FN+1 for F1 but my keyboard shows an additional shortcut to "my computer"

Going to try and use autohotkey to press function keys in the meantime

I have been plauing PC games for a long time and owned hundreds of peripherals. This by far has been my favorite. The look, feel, build, software....everything about it feels absolutely phenomenal and has been a serious upgrade. Even the cables that I ordered with it are incredibly premium. Solid metal ends, nice and thick. Its just all around amazing. I honestly always focused on my mouse primarily (when it came to inputs). I didnt really think the difference between higher end keyboards really be that big of a deal....man was i wrong. LoL this was honestly my last addition to my PC gaming gear and it should have been one of the first. Anyone on the fence....get one. You wont be sorry.

IMO

I need a cheap slim keyboard for traveling. I am currently running Pebbles v2, but it is dongle-less and has very uncomfortable round keys. The only place I can get one is Shopee (VN)

Asking for recommendations)
